​Wednesday May 27, NOON - Middendorf's

Please mark your calendars to attend the annual District VI President's Meeting at Middendorf's Restaurant on Pass Manchac, noon, Wednesday May 27. As usual an RSVP is requested so that we have enough seating. Plan to enjoy fellowship with other District VI members as we exchange ideas! Remember all club members are welcome.​
Guest Presentation will be Susan McNeese, President of Mt. Hermon Garden Club and Sixth District Judges Council, who will do her floral magic using mainly backyard foliage and contrived flowers. True art under budget!
